| الوصف: | Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a brain disorder as a result of liver failure. Previous studies have indicated that erythropoietin (EPO) has neuroprotective effects in different neurological diseases. This study addressed the therapeutic effect of a four-week treatment with EPO on neuronal damages in bile duct-ligated rats. Forty male Wistar rats (250–280 g) were used in the present study. The animals were randomly divided into four groups consisting of 10 animals each, including sham, sham + EPO, bile duct ligation (BDL), and BDL + EPO. EPO was intraperitoneally administered every other day (5,000 U/Kg) in the last four weeks after BDL. Biochemical and histological studies were performed to evaluate neurodegeneration. The results revealed that BDL increases the level of hepatic enzymes and total bilirubin. Furthermore, neurodegeneration was significantly increased in the BDL group compared to sham groups. EPO preserved hepatic enzymes and total bilirubin in the treated group. In addition, EPO significantly decreased the neurodegeneration in BDL + EPO compared to the BDL group. Results of this study showed that EPO has neuroprotective effects in the rat model of HE, possibly due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Complementary studies are required to clarify the exact mechanisms. |
